Members of Anopheles maculipennis complex are effective malaria vectors in Europe and the Caspian Sea region northern Iran, where has been re-introduced since 1994. The current study designed order to provide further evidence on status species composition identify more accurately members Iran. second internal transcribed spacer ribosomal DNA (rDNA-ITS2) was sequenced 28 out 235 specimens that were collected five provinces East Azerbayjan, Ardebil, Guilan, Mazandaran Khorassan length ITS2...
Recently, insecticides such as ivermectin, which targets glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) channels in the nervous system of invertebrates, have gained attention for treatment head lice. However, resistance to this insecticide threatens effectiveness louse control programs. Molecular bioinformatics sequence analysis revealed that most common mutations were R37K and E50K with a frequency 85.71%, followed by D93N (64.28%), M101R (35.71%), R100Q (28.57%). These are reported here first...
The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays a significant role in associative learning and memory formation during the opiate addiction process. Various lines of evidence demonstrate that glutamatergic (GLUT) transmission through N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor can modulate neuronal network activity within mPFC influence dopaminergic signaling mesocorticolimbic pathway. However, little is known about how modulation NMDA may regulate reward formation. Using conditioned place preference...

Background: Behçet's Disease (BD) is a rare autoimmune disease that involves the dysfunction of regulatory T cells. FOXP3 key transcription factor in development and function T(reg) Recent studies have shown SNPs contribute to susceptibility some disorders.To clarify association between gene risk BD, 50 patients diagnosed with BD healthy controls from north-western Iran were genotyped by PCR-RFLP (Mun I Pst I) for two including rs3761547 (-3499T/C) rs3761548 (-3279 C/A) promoter region gene....
In recent years, the increase of head louse infestation in Iran (7.4%) and especially West-Azerbaijan Province (248%) has raised hypothesis insecticide resistance development. There are different mechanisms to various groups insecticides, knockdown (kdr) is a prominent mechanism pyrethroids, an group which used conventionally for pediculosis control. For detection kdr-type well-known amino acid substitutions (M815I–T917I–L920F) additional sodium channel mutations potentially associated with...
Anopheles stephensi is considered an important malaria vector in Iran, Asia, and recently the Horn of Africa. Recently, Ansteobp1 intron I sequence has been introduced a new molecular marker for identification its biological forms including, mysorensis, intermediate type, using insectary colony specimens. In current study, ability evaluated with An. specimens collected from Iran Afghanistan malarious provinces. Following DNA extraction PCR amplification, analysis constructed phylogenetic...
Abstract Knockdown resistance (kdr) is a common mechanism of insecticide in head lice to the conventionally used pyrethroid pediculosis and can be result various amino acid substitutions within voltage-sensitive sodium channel (VSSC). In this study, 54 sequences from varied specimens were investigated monitor well-known mutations probable new mutations. The Pediculus humanus capitis de Geer collected 13 provinces Iran. stored 70% ethanol until DNA extraction PCR amplification ~900-bp...
Background Anopheles stephensi Listen (1901) is a major vector of malaria in Asia and has recently been found some regions Africa. The An . stepehnsi species complex suspected to have three sibling species: type, intermediate, mysorensis, each with its own competence the parasite ecology. To identify members our insectary colony, we used morphological features eggs genetic markers such as Anste Obp1 ( odorant binding protein 1), mitochondrial oxidases subunit 1 2 (COI COII), nuclear internal...
Pyrethroid insecticides are highly insecticidal compounds that widely used against the German cockroach, a significant household insect pest. In several species, there is point mutation in para-type sodium channel gene associated with knockdown resistance (kdr). current study, genomic DNA was analyzed region where kdr and super-kdr (an enhanced form of pyrethroid resistance) mutations reside Blatella germanica (L., 1767) (Blattodea: Blattellidae) collected from Iran. Studies on extracted...
The present study was designed for identification of arthropods species in Urmia city municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill 2014. specimens were collected by hand and with sweep net. After the initial classification at order level, genus done using morphological keys. In total, 1,913 arthropod samples collected. classified into four different classes. most abundant arachnids Steatoda paykulliana Walckenaer (Araneae: Theridiidae) Agelenopsis spp. Giebel Agelenidae). Out nine insect orders,...
